3 months Contract - 2/3 days a week onsite/hybrid in Edinburgh (Must live in commutable distance to Edinburgh)
We're looking for an experienced Events Manager, based in Edinburgh, to join our marketing team on a fixed-term 3 month basis and own our event programme across owned events, partner events and sponsored flagship events.
This isn't simply about running well-organised events. CreateFuture's ambition is to become the organisation that owns Scotland's AI-enabled business transformation agenda.
That means every event this role runs should be judged against a simple test: would this conversation have happened if CreateFuture hadn't brought these people together?
A core focus of this role is our events programme with key technology partners — AWS, OpenAI and Anthropic. This means curating joint dinners and roundtables, shaping the theme and hook with internal SMEs, managing the invite process, and ensuring we show up with the right content, branding and commercial intent.
For sponsored and flagship events, you will manage the full lifecycle — from investment approval and logistics through to on-the-day execution, lead capture and post-event follow-up — working to a structured playbook and ensuring every event delivers measurable pipeline contribution, with CF/Beyond as the natural next step for the relationships built, not the opening pitch.
This is a hands-on coordination role. You will be organised, commercially minded, and confident working with senior stakeholders, external partners and third-party agencies — while keeping one eye on the bigger story: that CreateFuture is convening, championing and connecting Scotland's AI community, not just hosting dinners.
What you’ll be doing:
We trust people to do their best work. That means flexibility over rigid rules, impact over activity, and real investment in your growth both professionally and personally. You’ll be part of a supportive, and friendly culture, surrounded by smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do.
We offer flexible working, including hybrid and remote options. Our office hubs are located in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, London and Bulgaria, with occasional travel to client sites or CreateFuture offices when needed.
We trust you to manage your time balancing collaboration with client time and focused work. What matters is the impact you have, not how busy you look.
We try to keep our hiring process clear, fair and respectful of your time. We aim to get back to everyone who applies and we will be upfront about where you are in the process.
It usually looks like this:
Depending on the role, we might also ask you to do a short presentation, a practical or technical task or have a values focused conversation. We will explain what is involved before anything happens.
We believe diverse teams build better workplaces and better products. We want CreateFuture to be a place where people feel able to be themselves and do their best work.
If you need any adjustments or support during the application process, just. We will do what we can to help.
We look forward to your application!
CreateFuture was built to take action. With our 500-strong team of software engineering, strategy and design experts, across Edinburgh, Leeds, London and Manchester, we’re determined to get you exactly what you need.
As with our past clients, we get to the root of your challenge and do everything it takes to create positive solutions by building digital products and services that solve problems.
With years of experience helping catalyse major organisations into action, our rapid growth has been driven by people who seek to understand before they solve. We care about our craft. We challenge each other by asking, “Why not?”. And we’re proud to collaborate and partner with the likes of PayPal, adidas, FanDuel, Money Saving Expert, Penguin Random House, Yorkshire Building Society and more.
With CreateFuture, our people are at the forefront of every outcome and we know that a strong team dynamic is critical to success, so we’ll be there for you every step of the way. We draw on their unique skills for problem-solving – and helping your teams unleash their potential too. Put simply, we want to be an organisation that people want to work for and want to work with.
You don’t need to have all the answers. Share your problem and we’ll go from there. Let’s create something incredible, together, today.
